UPDATE: Still no sign of Evansville woman reported missing on Feb. 16

EVANSVILLE - An Evansville woman who works as an exotic dancer in Louisville, Ky., is still missing after her mother reported she hadn't heard from her since Feb. 11.

Indiana State Police are currently investigating the disappearance of Ashley Alyson Moore, 28, who lives with her mother at 3513 Pollack Ave.

According to Indiana State Police, Moore is approximately 5-feet-5-inches tall and weighs 125 pounds. She has blonde hair and green eyes. She was last seen driving her white 2006 Chevrolet Impala, which should have an expired Indiana temporary paper tag, D268460, in the rear window and a metal Kentucky license plate on the rear of the vehicle.

Indiana State Police Sgt. Todd Ringle said Moore left the Evansville area on Feb. 8. Her mother reported her missing on Feb. 16.

"And it looks like it's very possible she had met or was going to meet someone," Ringle said. "Her mother had made contact with her late afternoon on Feb. 11, but the mother can't say for sure that at that point she was in Louisville, but she believes that she was at least in the Louisville area."

Authorities haven't confirmed which club in Louisville that Moore was working at, but they have leads, Ringle said. He wasn't sure why Moore's mother waited until Feb. 16 to inform authorities.

"All I know is according to her (mother), she really had contact with her daughter almost every single day," Ringle said. "But the last time she had talked to her was on Feb. 11."

There are several steps detectives are taking to locate Moore. Ringle said she was taking prescription medication, and that has been tagged so if she tries to refill the prescription, authorities will be notified. Also, they've researched her cellphone to find out when it was last used, and sometimes he said a person can be located using cellphone information. The Louisville Police Department has been contacted, Ringle said, to be made aware of the investigation and find out if they know anything about her. And obviously police are talking to Moore's family and friends.

"But really, we don't have a lot to go on," he said. "The mother felt she would be coming back home because she knew that she had to get the proper plates for her car, but the mom hasn't seen her since Feb. 11."

Immediately after she was reported missing, Ringle said, data about Moore and the car were entered into the National Crime Information Center system, so if an officer would come across her during a traffic stop or her vehicle is found, the officer would be notified that she is a missing person.

A Facebook page, "Help Find Ashley Moore from Evansville, Indiana," was created this week with several photos of Moore. Anyone with information concerning Moore's disappearance should call the Indiana State Police at 800-852-3970, and can remain anonymous.

Ringle said it's too early to say if foul play is suspected.

"We get phone calls or we have investigations quite frequently regarding missing persons," he said. "Most of them are found within a couple of days. At this point we're treating her disappearance as suspicious until we're able to prove otherwise."
